my latest—they miss Trump; pressrun.media/p/cnn-keeps-tr…
“Still itching for the daily drama of the Trump years, CNN continues to uncork breathless, perilous Biden coverage that often does not match reality — even the reality of the network’s own polling.”
CNN seemed genuinely embarrassed by its poll last week that showed Biden w/ 50% approval and did everything to downplay and ignore poll — didn’t fit the narrative

anti-vaxxers helping to create full employment economy!
my hunch is police officers who refuse to get vaxxed do not represent the best and the brightest of the workforce, so kind of a win/win

Dems won WH by 7M votes, flipped two red states that hadn’t gone blue in 40-50 yrs and all we ever see is this drumbeat of coverage re: Dems looming political apocalypse; vox.com/2021/10/18/227…
press still basically views 2020 as a Dem loss. it’s unprecedented
Dems in Disarray is a powerful drug

this was the editorial the war-hungry WashPost ran after Colin Powell lied to the UN for an hour straight in March, 2003; washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…
"After Secretary of State Colin L. Powell's presentation to the United Nations Security Council yesterday, it is hard to imagine how anyone could doubt that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction. "

read that three times.
this was the absolute dominant mainstream media, Establishment voice at the time: blood lust demand for war, and open contempt for anyone who doubted Bush lies

bc the president controls global supply chain

fascinating to watch CNN desperately try to ding Biden
btw, this is third time in eight days Stephen Collinson has written the exact same Doomsday piece for CNN

nice work if you can get it...
Trump couldn't string together three coherent sentences, press shrugged.

Biden? press demands he unclog a once-in-a-century supply chain backlog that starts in China.

why do well-paid, smart, savvy journalists keep writing articles abt GOP anger over critical race theory without ever nothing CRT isn't taught in schools.

it's the most astonishing, chronic ex's of journalism failure i've ever seen.

washingtonpost.com/national/moms-…
like, why does EVERY REPORTER refuse to include that simple stipulation when covering the topic?
from WP: <Abboud said she got involved with the organization after a school social worker posted a blog post that seemed to embrace critical race theory, an academic framework for examining systemic racism.>

SEEMED????>

also, it was public post, not classroom

hard to describe how dishonest CNN is here

says its new poll contains “bad news” for Biden and **never mentions it has Biden polling at 50%**
classic example of when news outlets tries to bury their own polling bc results don’t match preferred narrative
also, seriously??? after 4 yrs of pathological liar, raging narcissist and racist in the WH, CNN’s beef is that Biden is too cordial?
